Christopher Eccleston is Accursed in Thor: The Dark World

Christopher Eccleston, known by many as Doctor Who, will be going up against the God of Thunder as Malekith The Accursed in Thor: The Dark World.
It was fairly safe to assume that Malekith would be showing up in the second Thor movie when we learned the Dark Elves would be involved, but it's nice to know for sure, and Eccleston definitely has the talent to not get overshadowed by Tom Hiddleston's Loki... which is saying a lot.
In the world of Marvel comics, Malekith the Accursed is the leader of the Dark Elves who teams up with Loki to get a talisman of power known as the Casket of Ancient Winters, which also happened to be something coveted by the frost giants of Jotunheim in the first Thor movie
I was a big fan of Eccleston's during his time as Doctor Who and I'm looking forward to seeing him go against Thor, especially if he looks anything like his comic book counterpart.
Thor: The Dark World arrives in theaters in November 2013.
